Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Dragon Guard’s Reaction

"... Fang Bai recently returned to his ancestral home in Zhongzhou, but afterward, for some reason, he went to the Qin Family in Jinling. It is said that there, he and his disciple Ghost Hand had a conflict with people from Misty Rain Tower... Afterward, both of them disappeared... not until the day after the incident at Misty Rain Tower did they return to Zhongzhou..."

Within a high-walled compound in Yanjing, the leader of Dragon Guard, Long Jingtian, sat with his eyes closed on a lounger, quietly listening as his granddaughter related Fang Bai’s recent movements.

"Dragon Maiden, what you did here was not right!"

After his granddaughter finished speaking, Long Jingtian slowly opened his eyes and spoke with a tone of dissatisfaction, "Fang Bai is already a member of our Dragon Guard. Why did you still send people to investigate him? Have you considered what the consequences would be if he found out? Have you forgotten how much effort it took you to recruit him into our ranks?"

"I didn’t send people to follow and monitor him, just to check where he’s been recently! That shouldn’t be an issue, right?"

Feeling the anger from her grandfather, Dragon Maiden lowered her head and defended herself in a soft voice.

Long Jingtian huffed lightly and said, "Would you like it if someone investigated your movements?"

"I..."

"You suspect that the affair at the Misty Rain Tower in Jiangnan is related to Fang Bai?"

"Indeed, I have some suspicions... because some things are too coincidental... and Fang Bai’s abilities are profound and inscrutable, making it possible for him..."

"Fang Bai once had a conflict with people from Misty Rain Tower... On the day the Tower was struck by disaster, Fang Bai and his disciple had vanished... Just based on these facts, you suspect him?"

"I..."

"Tell me, do Fang Bai and his disciple have a life-and-death feud with Misty Rain Tower?"

"No..."

"If they don’t have a life-and-death feud, why would Fang Bai slaughter the experts of Misty Rain Tower? Is he bored?"

"But..."

"You and Fang Bai are both members of Dragon Guard. It is wrong to doubt and suspect each other like this! Alright, this matter ends here. You are not allowed to do this again in the future! Also, notify the other Dragon Guard members that no one is allowed to interfere with the Misty Rain Tower affair, I have my own arrangements!"

"Oh, got it..."

Scolded by her grandfather, Dragon Maiden left with her head down in disheartenment, yet she still felt a bit unconvinced in her heart.

A woman’s innate intuition told Dragon Maiden that, even if the incident at Misty Rain Tower wasn’t the work of Fang Bai and his disciple, they could not be entirely unconnected to it.

Besides, what puzzled Dragon Maiden was why her grandfather would issue an order strictly forbidding any Dragon Guard members from interfering in the Misty Rain Tower affair, which clearly went against the original purpose of Dragon Guard’s foundation to uphold justice and maintain the peace of Huaxia!

Despite being full of doubts and confusion, Dragon Maiden still carried out the order issued by Long Jingtian.

Long Jingtian was not only the leader of Huaxia’s Dragon Guard but also a legendary figure in the Secular Ancient Martial World of Huaxia. His word was law, and no one, including Dragon Maiden, dared to object to it.

"Every cause has its effect. When Shaolin, Qingcheng Temple, and Misty Rain Tower joined forces to massacre Myriad Medicine Valley, today’s retribution has finally arrived... Sigh, I just hope that Fang Bai and his disciple do not create too much slaughter, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to remain a bystander!"

After Dragon Maiden left, Long Jingtian lay back in his armchair, gazing at the drifting clouds in the sky, his brows tightly furrowed, sighing audibly.

Following the tragic incident at Myriad Medicine Valley, Long Jingtian had conducted a secret investigation himself and eventually learned who the mastermind behind the scenes was. He also knew that a disciple named Ghost Hand had managed to escape by chance, but for various reasons, he did not disclose the truth to the public.

Latter, the disciples sent secretly by two of the three major Sects, Qingcheng Temple and Misty Rain Tower, pursued Ghost Hand, the only escapee from Myriad Medicine Valley. Long Jingtian also wanted to find Ghost Hand to protect him, yet he was never able to do so.

He had thought Ghost Hand was perhaps already dead and that the Myriad Medicine Valley tragedy would become a piece of forgotten history, never to be mentioned again. However, he had not expected the sudden massacre of the Profound Level Experts from Misty Rain Tower.

Upon learning that Fang Bai and his disciple had appeared in Jinling, clashed with the Wen Family of Misty Rain Tower, and that Fang Bai’s disciple was named "Ghost Hand," Long Jingtian had a moment of realization, guessing that this Ghost Hand must be the sole fortunate survivor of the Myriad Medicine Valley tragedy. However, he did not know how Ghost Hand had ended up becoming Fang Bai’s disciple.

Fang Bai, with Ghost Hand, appeared in Jinling and then mysteriously vanished, followed by the massacre of the Misty Rain Tower’s Profound Level Experts. Dragon Maiden only suspected that Fang Bai and his disciple were behind this, but Long Jingtian was certain it was their doing.

In Long Jingtian’s view, wiping out the Profound Level Experts of Misty Rain Tower was just the beginning of Fang Bai and his disciple’s revenge. Next, Shaolin and Qingcheng Temple were likely to follow in Misty Rain Tower’s footsteps.

Long Jingtian was a man of clear debts of gratitude and grievances. Upon discovering that the massacre in Myriad Medicine Valley was a joint operation by Misty Rain Tower and two other major Ancient Martial Sects, he initially wanted to seek justice for Myriad Medicine Valley. However, he restrained himself out of fear that such actions would weaken the strength of the Secular Ancient Martial World, and he had felt guilty ever since.

Now that Ghost Hand had re-emerged and begun to seek vengeance for his Sect, Long Jingtian decided to have the "Dragon Guard" maintain neutrality and not intervene.

Both Fang Bai and his disciple, as well as Misty Rain Tower and the other two major Ancient Martial Sects, were part of the Ancient Martial World. He decided to let them settle their debts and grudges according to the rules of the Ancient Martial World.

Although Fang Bai and his disciple had slaughtered the Profound Level Experts of Misty Rain Tower and retreated in safety, Long Jingtian was pessimistic about their path of revenge to come.

Misty Rain Tower was the weakest of the three major Ancient Martial Sects, but Qingcheng Temple and Shaolin were both far stronger than the rest.

In his time, Dharma Grandmaster crossed the river on a reed and passed down his teachings at Shaolin. It was said that he was a Heaven Level Martial Artist then.

If the rumors were reliable, then there might very well be a Heaven Level Technique passed down within Shaolin.

Whether there were Heaven Level Martial Artists among the Shaolin Monks, even Long Jingtian was not sure.

Although Long Jingtian himself was a Heaven Level Martial Artist, having reached the pinnacle of the Secular Ancient Martial World, and could even rank among the top fighters in the Hidden Sects, Shaolin had always been an entity he was wary of.

Long Jingtian had never met Fang Bai, but based on the information coming from various sources, he conjectured that Fang Bai was likely an Earth Level Martial Artist.

Honestly, an Earth Level Martial Artist in the Secular Ancient Martial World was already considered a top expert, but to take on Shaolin, a Sect with a millennium legacy and profound heritage, was still quite a stretch.

As for why Fang Bai and his disciple were so eager to take revenge against the three major Ancient Martial Sects instead of waiting until they grew more powerful, Long Jingtian attributed it to their youthful recklessness and impetuousness.

......

Fang Bai and his disciple returned to Zhongzhou with Zhou Dabai and his family.

Upon arriving in Zhongzhou, the families of Fang Gang and Zhou Dabai met, inevitably leading to a series of sighs and lamentations.

That night, the two families went to dinner at a restaurant together. Fang Gang and Zhou Houde, the pair of old friends, drank themselves into a stupor and had to be carried home on the backs of Zhou Dabai and Fang Bai.
